“Time” was inspired by the true story of a friend who’s son passed in an accident a few years ago. The loss of anyone in our lives is never easy, but if anything it makes us realize how precious ‘Time’ is, and the only ‘Time’ we truly have is this present moment.
ABOUT
Born in Beirut, Kory‘s parents moved the family to Toronto when she was eight months old. Her mother, a devoted fan of country music would continuously play classic country, and Kory found herself singing along. By her teens, she became exposed to hard rock, most notably Guns N’ Roses.
“Seeing Axl Rose perform I realized I wanted to be a performer,” she says. “I had a keyboard and a microphone and I started writing songs, but my parents were dead set against it.”
Having spent several years abroad, it was after her move back to North America and a fateful meeting with her idol and inspiration Axl Rose that the fire to write and perform was re-ignited.
“My birthday was coming up and friends started asking what I wanted. Number one was meeting the man I had idolized most of my life,” Kory recounts. “I flew to LA and drove to his home in Malibu only to find him walking near his house. We had a short conversation and he agreed to a photo. As I drove away, I thought if I could manifest something this crazy, then pursuing my lifelong dream of performing was possible.”
In 2017, Kory began writing and recording her first EP, Spellcasting, produced by John Angus MacDonald (The Trews). She released it in 2017, supporting it with a string of shows in Toronto and LA at the legendary Whisky a Go-Go. Her songs received radio airplay across Canada, the United States, the Netherlands, UK, the Middle East, Brazil, and New Zealand.
